This week saw weakness in techs. Cisco growth numbers were alarming for the market. Cisco is a Dow stock, so the signal I got to buy the Dow ETF is a little mystifying. I always hate to disregard a signal, because they usually turn out right. I am wary of this market, even though the Treasury is pumping billions of dollars into it. Inflation driven markets tend to crash pretty hard… eventually. Meanwhile, being wary, means missing the inflationary bull market. We’ve seen this movie before, and there is never a happy ending… for the buy and hold.
I’ve got a buy signal for the DOW ETF and a SELL for GE which is contradictory, but lends to my view that this is a weak DOW buy signal. I have a buy for PVX, my high dividend Canadian Oil play. Its current yield is 8.8%. An inflationary period is good for commodities, as they all should go up in price. I have a core holding of PVX that I will add to.
